I
stay up late at night sometimes watching TV. You know those Discovery
Channel documentaries about Fighter Planes therefore I may know more
Roy Orbison songs than any other 23 year old on the planet. Time Life
Music has made me over-aware of the musical significance of Mr. Orbison
with their late night media barrage of value packed Roy Orbison LPs,
long-play cassettes and CDs.

This record is filled with historically significant songs that show
the development of early rock and roll. Some of the strongest cuts
include: "Only The Lonely," "Crying," and "Blue Bayou." Every time I
get to cut 7, "Dream Baby" I get the uncontrollable urge to check into
a mid-priced hotel in somewhere like Houston or Orlando.

Without
fail The Very Best of Roy Orbison ends up with his seminal work "Oh,
Pretty Woman" which is worth the wait. The sound quality of the record
is up to the very high standards of DCC reissues even though much of
the musical content is extremely old. You only need one Roy Orbison
record and this one is it.
